Jim Bowden believes the Cincinnati Reds would consider trading Elly De La Cruz, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have the farm system and the motivation to build a blockbuster package.
Dodgers Way examines potential trade packages the Los Angeles Dodgers could offer the Cincinnati Reds for superstar shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
